Canyonlands National Park - Environmental Factors Home > Canyonlands > Park Info > Nature and Science > Environmental Factors Although Canyonlands may appear harsh and unchanging, the desert ecosystem is continually evolving. Weather, climatic shifts and geologic processes continue to shape this environment as they have for millennia. More recently, human-caused factors such as air, noise and water pollution, as well as introduced species, have had a much greater impact on natural resources world-wide. The undeveloped landscape of Canyonlands provides an ideal place to study how various environmental factors affect desert ecosystems, and predict what changes might be expected in the future.	::Highlights ∙ Island in the Sky ∙ The Maze District ∙ The Needles ::Lodging ::Maps ::Park Info ∙ Geology - Green River Formation - Burro Canyon ∙ Plants and Wildlife ∙ Nature and Science - Natural Features - Pools - Rivers - Night Sky Team - Soils - Environmental Factors - Crust - Air Quality - Disturbed Lands - Night Sky - Nonnative Species - Noise - Endangered Fish - Mountains ::Planning ∙ Fees ∙ Plan Your Visit ∙ Camping ∙ Climate ∙ Activities ∙ Contacts ::Books ::Photo Gallery
